Oct. 15, 1950; over North Carolina (BBU 821)
4:20 p.m. Capt. George A. Woodward, and his co-pilot William Bradsley, both of Miami, Florida, saw while flying a Miami Airlines, Inc., DC-4 over North Carolina, four shiny objects which they couldn't identify. They had taken off from Raleigh for Miami at 4:00 p.m. (EST) and 20 minutes later saw four shiny objects that looked like balloons Woodward said. "My co-pilot looked at me and said: 'Do you see what I see?' I told him I did and we headed toward them. They appeared to be about 100 feet in diameter of some shiny substance like aluminum or chrome. They were thicker in the middle and tapered off like two saucers fitted together." They were in line about 25 feet apart and about five miles away. They chased them but they backed away, descended slowly, then they took off in burst of speed. Woodward said he had been flying 12 years and had never seen such objects. He said he wasn't sure what they were but they weren't planes or balloons. (Loren Gross, UFOs A History 1950).
